Chapter 329


    Chase arched an eyebrow at Ian, a smirk ying on his lips. “Must’ve been someone who blew


    your injuries out of proportion to trick her intoing back, huh?”


    ra marched briskly to Sasha’s bedside, clutching her hand with reddened eyes as she surveyed


    the damage. “Sweetie, does it hurt?”


    Sasha chuckled, her voice carefree. “Nah, the docs numbed me up good for the surgery. It’s the


    perfect excuse to kick back and rx. Don’t you worry your head about me.”


    Chase leaned against the wall, a teasingugh escaping him. “Funny, I thought I heard someone


    howling in pain just a short while ago.”


    “Chase, would you just shut it!” Sasha snapped, annoyancecing her words.


    Chase’s reaction was instantaneous. He mimed a “zipping his lips” gesture with his hands.


    Ian scowled at him. “Did you take care of what I asked?”


    “Checked and done,” Chase replied confidently. “Sasha’s medical record shows a miscarriage due


    to a severe impact, and we’re sticking to that story publicly. The doc in the know’s been briefed to


    keep mum. Should be no issues there. But who the hell did this? You didn’t even know about ra


    being pregnant, so how did someone else get wind of it?”


    Ian’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. “Maybe the target was ra all along.”


    Just then, his phone rang. ncing at the caller ID, he stepped out of the room to answer.


    “Ian,” came Edwin’s anxious voice as soon as the call connected. “I heard about ra’s car crash.


    How is she?”


    Ian clenched his jaw in frustration. “And you thought to ask now? If it hadn’t been for your rush to


    blow Heidi’s cover, none of this would have happened. Do you have any idea how much harm ra


    could’ve been in if she’d been in that car?”


    There was a brief silence before Edwin asked, “So it’s not ra who’s hurt?”


    “It’s her friend,” Ian replied coldly. “Brakes tampered with by some goon from the car dealership. We


    caught the guy, but he won’t spill who sent him. Besides Heidi, I can’t think of a second suspect.”


    When he heared this, Edwin’s gaze turned icy. “I’ll look into it. You take care of ra. If it’s Heidi,


    she won’t get off easy.”


    After hanging up, Edwin drove back to his estate. Since returning from Riddleton, he had confined


    Heidi to the house. If she had targeted ra, it would have been over the phone.


    Stepping inside, he was met by the servant reporting that Heidi had been in high spirits all day,


    singing and dancing in her room.

    Edwin’s lips twisted into a cold smirk. He didn’t need to guess why. Heidi thought ra was the one


    who got hurt. She was celebrating her sessful scheme.


    He strode upstairs and pushed open Heidi’s door.


    “Edwin, you’re back?” Heidi stopped dancing and ran towards him with a smile.


    Edwin handed her a piece of cake without a change in expression. “You’ve been goodtely. Here’s


    a treat.”


    Heidi was visibly touched, feeling favored. “I’ll always listen to you from now on, okay? Please don’t


    ignore me.”


    Edwin ruffled her hair affectionately. “Enjoy the cake. I’ve got a conference call in the study.”


    Leaving the room, he returned momentster to find Heidi asleep on the bed. He retrieved her


    phone and retreated to his study.


    As he activated the listening device on the phone, his eyes hardened with resolve.
